    Maybe the red bit on the more expensive one is a go-faster stripe!

    Tried some Vivos on today, grip looked great and they were really comfortable but too wide for me!

I'm assuming it has better grip than the others, but I fancied the vibram sole as I reckon it will last for ages.

    Well, got my neo trails today, but can't use them until christmas when I get them out from under the tree - how mean is my missus, eh?!
    So I went for a run in my bare feet today, just to teach her a lesson. Ouch.(I really need those shoes!)
